We connect the engine from the old washing machine

If the washing machine has broken, then you should not throw it away - it is possible to connect the working motor from the old washing machine.

This part of the technique can serve for some time.

Applications of the engine can be found very much.

How to remove the engine from an old washing machine?

Washing machines work on engines that have different designs: collector, asynchronous, electronic form.

Before you do anything from the old engine, it needs to be removed. For different types, you need to perform your own set of actions.

For all types of engines, first of all, it is necessary to disconnect the equipment from the voltage of 220 V, the sewerage network and the water supply.

When disabled, the machine must stand for at least 10 hours. During this time the capacitor will be discharged. Only after this, the engine can be reached. The scheme of actions is described in detail below.

Asynchronous motor - the wires that connect the part of the asynchronous motor and the capacitor should not be cut off. The battery needs to be pulled out with the engine.

The battery type may vary depending on the model of the washing machine. This can be a box of metal, plastic, most often sealed.

It contains a condenser - one or more, which are connected in parallel.

It is worthwhile to carefully consider how connected el.motor and battery.

The wiring diagram may differ. The winding can be connected to the network 220 directly, and the other - through the capacitor. The existing scheme should be unchanged.

It needs to be connected to a voltage of 220 V and the rotation of the asynchronous motor will start.

It is worthwhile to be cautious - to the elements of the engine it will be possible to touch only after the capacitor is discharged.

Collector - such motors are low-voltage. Permanent magnets are mounted on their stator and they are connected to a constant voltage.

On the engine, there is usually a sticker on which the recommended voltage is indicated. Only such a voltage must be connected to such an electrical.motor.

Electronic - the motor must be removed from the washing machine together with the control unit. The body of the unit is usually indicated by the voltage to which the motor needs to be connected.

It is worthwhile to be careful when applying voltage - it is important to observe the polarity, since the reverse in this form of motors is not possible.

It happens that the engine does not start immediately. In this case, we need to find additional conclusions. They are fed zero or a logical unit. After this, the motor will start rotating.

Mechanical - with the motor there can be a reducer, which drives the reverse device. There are two conclusions on it.

The current that is detected by the sticker on the motor is connected to the source. After this, the motor will start its rotation. The frequency of rotation of such an e-mail.the motor is low - only 4-5 rpm.

To connect the motor to alternating current, it is necessary to perform a number of actions:

• There must be a special device, which defines the wires of the winding - the tester;
• To determine the pair of wires, the tester probe connects to any wire, and the rest are checked in turn. If, when connected, the tester indicates a connection, then these two wires are just a pair. Accordingly, the second two wires also form a pair;
• Two windings must be measured at the resistance level. Where the indicator is larger, that winding is the starting winding;
• From different windings the wires must be connected in pairs, then connect to a voltage of 220 V;
  it is recommended to install a switch on the wire of the starting winding.

There are times when you need to change the direction of rotation of the motor. In this case, it is recommended to swap the conclusions of the starting winding.

When connecting the motor to a voltage of 220 V via a capacitor or directly, you should be very careful. Before the work on the connection, the motor must be secured.

In this position, it will not vibrate strongly. The safety of oneself and others is also extremely important.

The second life of the engine of the old washing machine

The working motor of the old washing machine of the collector type can be used by constructing a variety of useful appliances. Some of them will be considered in this article.

Grinder

Grinding machine - the device is useful in any farm.

It can be made by any man, if there is a working motor from the washing machine "Indesit", "Ariston" or any other.

When fixing the grinding stone to the engine, a problem may arise - the hole on the stone may differ from the diameter of the shaft of the el.motor.

In this case, you need an additional detail, which is specially ground. Such an adapter can be made by any turner. To do this, he needs to know the diameter of the shaft.

There should be not only an adapter. There must be a special bolt, nut, washer.

The thread on the nut must be cut according to the direction in which the motor will rotate.

For clockwise rotation, the thread must be cut left-handed, counterclockwise - right-handed.

If you do the opposite, then the stone will fly, because the work will go on unwinding.

If there is a threaded nut, but it does not fit in its direction, you can change the direction of rotation. For this, it is necessary to swap the winding wires.

After connecting the working winding to the network 220, the starting pair must be connected to the working coil.

The second end must be briefly applied to the winding lead. Motion of the collector's electrical.the motor will start on one side.

After changing the terminals of the starting coil, the direction of the motor will be reversed.

The rotation of the motor can be changed without using a capacitor. In this case, after the working winding is connected to 220 V, the stone should be scrolled sharply in the required direction.

The engine will start and the machine will work.

Do not use email.motors with high power. For the grinding machine, an engine sufficient to withstand a voltage of 150-200V is sufficient.

Emery stone should be rotated at a frequency of not more than 3000 rpm. If the rotational speed is higher, there is a risk that the grindstone will rupture.

Video:

If you use this machine at home, then experts recommend using a motor with a frequency of 1000 rpm.

Homemade grinders should be provided with additional elements that will protect the person working behind it from dust, stone particles.

A piece of metal, having a thickness of about 2 mm, can act as the casing.

Vibration table

By using the motor from the washing machine "Ariston", "Ardo" or other model, it is possible to design a vibration table.

It will come in handy if you have a device for making tiles. She can lay out a yard in her house, garden paths.

Vibration table - a simple design. It consists of a flat plate, which is fastened with mobile connections to the base. The movement of the collector motor drives the plate.

Video:

As a result, air is released from the concrete in the molds, the quality of the tile is improved.

The position of the collector motor must be determined by the circuit. If you install email.the motor is in the wrong place, then the table will not be able to work properly, high-quality tiles will not work.

Concrete mixer

The engine from the old machine can be used to create a concrete mixer. Such a product is not suitable for industrial volumes, but for the needs of its own yard it is quite acceptable.

To turn a washing machine into a concrete mixer, you need not only an engine, but a tank.

In the tank of activator type, you need to insert two blades in their appearance similar to the letter "P", after removing the standard "native" activator from it.

Blades to build simply. It is enough to take a steel strip, the thickness of which is about 5 mm, cut off the required amount, bend it and place the two blades so that they make a right angle.

When the blades are ready, they must be connected to the tank through the hole where the activator was previously.

The hole in the tank, through which the water was drained, must be closed. If everything turned out right, you can start connecting the engine.

Video:

Depending on how much concrete is planned to be mixed, engine power is selected. If you need to mix a small amount, then you can install a single-phase motor.

If the volumes are larger, then it is worthwhile to install the email.the motor from the washing machine is more powerful.

Do not forget about the belt drive, which was in the typewriter. It is recommended to replace it with a reducer. It will reduce the engine speed, while the revs will be low.
